Hello,

I have simulated some the flow field around a NACA profile. I would like to compare Cl, Cd,Cn, Cm gotten with CFD with theoretical expression. I know a very interesting book "Theory of Wing Sections" to compare my results but I am wondering if there is a free software which you choose the profile, flow conditions (Mach, Reynolds and angle) and it calculates the aerodynamic coefficients.

Thanks in advance!

Check out the NASA website for "Foilsim". They are updating it to a new version, but I believe the applet gives reasonable estimates for the airfoils based on experimental data.
